My Summary

My Experience

I have 15 years of experience as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant, ELSA and Tutor, including SEN and behavioural.

I have run art and gardening clubs, worked as a one-to-one tutor and helped children of all ages recognise and remove their barriers to learning.

I am well known for my patience with children and have had lots of success teaching children of all ages to read and write - when they have struggled at school.

I have worked with children with autism, ADHD, visually impaired, ODD, school-avoidant and selective mutes. I have my own lovely son as well as 4 nieces and 2 nephews, 2 dogs and 2 cats!

I love working with children and am known to be patient and fun but still able to put in behavioural boundaries.

I speak fairly good conversational French and a spattering of Dutch (fluent when younger).

My Qualifications

HLTA and ELSA, degree specialising in counselling fear and sadness, educational psychology, educational philosophy, Working Together with Children, Family Meanings.

BTEC HND and ND in design/art. Recent training in safeguarding children, food hygiene and handling, PREVENT. Previous training in lego therapy, first aid and many others.

My Availability

Mainly available ad hoc in school holidays, or babysitting. Local work only please.
Thanks, Kate
